I have botha new Tiger I and a Pershing. No problems at all with the Tiger I and the only problem with the Pershing is that twice now I've had to take it apart to fix the turret travers gears. It sticks in the rearward position. There's a spring loaded interference or friction type gear in the traverse gearbox that seems to be slipping. I'll try stretching the spring a bit to apply more pressure.

Anyway, stop worrying. If it malfunctions send it back right away. Don't take it apart.
